I don't care if Harvest of Souls nicks stuff from Supper's Ready, it's still my favourite piece of music of the current millennium.
Marillion's done dozens of songs better than Grendel. ------------- The world keeps spinning, people keep sinning And all the rest is just bullsh*t -Steve Kilbey |

| It's Harvest of Souls - much better than Gremlins, I mean Grendel. |

| Before it was posted here on another thread, I hadn't ever considered 'Harvest Of Souls' as being overtly influenced by 'Supper's Ready'- I remain fairly unconvinced, and even if it was, it's certainly not in the same way Grendel's closing section was a blatant copy of 'Apocalypse In 9/8' (even Mark Kelly admitted it was a Supper's Ready rehash in an interview I have in a mag). That song is hardly Marillion's finest hour, so the more assured and mature 'Harvest Of Souls' gets my vote. |

Harvest Of Souls for me. It would've been a different vote if you pitted it against "This Strange Engine", though.

| Grendel, for Rothery's solo and because it's so far behind. I love both, though. |

Although I am a die-hard IQ fan, I will vote for losing side, i.e. Marillion ------------- yet you still have time! |

Got to be Grendel for me. 
It's still my favourite Marillion track, even though it does get criticised in some quarters.

E-Dub, not voting for Marillion! (I can see the headlines now!)

I went with Grendal. The only difference in the quality of the songs here is that Fish is a better singer than Nicholls, just. ------------- Spending more than I should on Prog since 2005

| I havn't heard Grendel for a long time ..but its decent for sure.HOS is a blatnat rip off of Suppers Ready but nevertheless has some supeb sections.Mike Holmes guitar work is exceptional.The live version on the DVD Stage is better than the studio version with Andy Edwards taking it up a further notch. I'll vote Grendel though as its more original.There are other IQ epics I prefer to HOS (Widows Peak,Further Away and The Last Human Gateway). |

none of them – yes, both are blatant “supper's ready“ rip-offs to me.
if i had to choose one it would be grendel, because of its amateurish charm – and it was obviously the first one of the two that i heard and thus it reminds me of the time that i first became a proghead. aaaaah nostalgia (now THAT's a good IQ-tune!!!!!) ------------- progressive rock and rural tranquility don't match. true or false? |
